lyrics: |
  Of course we saw it coming
  There would be an end to us
  The sudden nature of it
  Unraveling under the sun

  I'm losing my mind over you
  I'm losing my time to the violent truth
  I'm losing my mind over you
  Leave me behind knowing I love you
  I'm losing my

  Our faith, our holy water
  Cough our lungs out in the dust
  Devoured, immolated
  I love you, wait for the light

  I'm losing my mind over you
  I'm losing my time to the violent truth
  I'm losing my mind over you
  Leave me behind knowing I love you
  I'm losing my my mind over you
  I'm losing my time to the violent truth
  I'm losing my mind over you
  Leave me behind knowing I love you
  I'm losing my

  Oh, leaving my father
  Leaving my mother
  To see you
  I'm leaving my father
  Leaving my mother, leaving my

  I'm losing my mind over you
  I'm losing my time to the violent truth
  I'm losing my mind over you
  Leave me behind knowing I love you
  I'm losing my my mind over you
  I'm losing my time to the violent truth
  I'm losing my mind over you
  Leave me behind knowing I love you
  I'm losing my

**FEiN** single (**May 16, 2019**), co-written by **Luke Francis Walton** and **Brandon Michael Woodward**. Mixed by Cary Singer, mastered by Riley Knapp. Not on [*Little Homes*](/albums/little-homes-fein/) (2016); later-era FEiN, same duo.

Fatalism without surprise: *of course we saw it coming / there would be an end to us*. The relationship ends in daylight, exposed rather than hidden. The chorus is repetition as freefall, love and damage sharing a tempo, and *leave me behind knowing I love you* is the cruelest kindness: go, but carry that.

From there it goes biblical-apocalyptic, body and belief burned off (*cough our lungs out in the dust*), love reduced to a promise to meet after the light. The last bridge is the leap, family abandoned for one person, *leaving my father / leaving my mother / to see you*, repeated until the line breaks off. FEiN's theatrical pop at full drama register, closer in spirit to *Little Homes*' social grief than Scoobert's bedroom myth, but the same two writers.

All FEiN releases are Luke Francis Walton and Brandon Michael Woodward together. See: [FEiN](/music/fein/) · [Catalog](/catalog/).
